4 claims. (c1. 299-131) Y The invention relates to a hose nozzle, as described in the present specication and illustratedfin the accompanying drawing that formV f 'g disc 2l this ldisc 21 having the apertures,v 22'4 partof the same.. f

rThe invention consists essentially in the construction and operation of the opening and closl ing member 'and the means employed in the direction of the flow as pointed out in the claims for lnovelty following a description vin detailof the parts contributing to the desired result.

vThe objects of the invention are to 'facilitate the handling of a hoseused'in the ,deliveryl of water for variouspurposesl and particularly a "hose used-fior watering lawnsand gardens, paths vand roadways, and to employ a spray where wanted and a direct stream at other places and to do this without making any other change than the adjustment of the releasev member, thereby enabling the gardeners and othersv toA use their` discretion in so far as the stream or the spray are Concerned; to simplify the constructionof a hose nozzle delivering a stream, as well as a spray, and bring the device down to a comparatively iew parts that will securely hold the water back and that will also permitA the delivery of a very free stream or a very wide spray; to eliminate any coaction between spray members and the valve mechanism, other than the forceof water released by the opening of the valve Vthrough its rotation; to insure the production of a hose nozzle at a low cost and yet maintain its eiiciency and its comparative freedom from repairs and replacements; and generally to provide a simple, economical and durable device.

In the drawing, FigureI 1 is a side elevational View of the hose nozzle. Y

Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the hose nozzle. Y l

Figure 3 is an elevational detail of the valve body. n l

Figure 4 is a sectional detail of the valve casing body. s

Figure 5 is a plan view of the nozzle head an spray head.

Figure 611s a planview of the sleeve endy of the barrel casing. Y

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding rparts in the various iigures.

Referring to the drawing, the spray member *indicated by the numeral 16 is in the shape of an arrow head forming .an under surface 17 from which the shaft or stein 18 extends, this under surface deflecting the stream of water for the spray, while the periphery 19` tapering to the point 2O contributes tothe solid streamen body.

housing the arrow af.ter.` s Y p The stem at its inner end is rigid with the head as explained herein` forming the water outlets.I

vThe valve casing 23 is preferably of barrel shape and is internally threaded at 2lik for a` portionoiits length, flaring at the inner end tothe enlarged `and threaded sleeve joint meniber 25 in which the seat 26 is made for attaching the disc 21rigidly thereto.l y

The rotary valve body 2'7is externally threaded for thegreater partV of its `lengthand is contained in the casing 23 yand screws inwardly and outwardlyf This valve body 27 is formed Awith the central bore 28 through which the shaft or stem l8 extends, the inner end of this bore being threaded, while the outer end flares to` form the nozzle head 30 which is encircled by the annular flange 3l knurled as shown at 32 for convenience in operating the valve body, and thereby adjusting the recess 33 in the head 30 and the bore 28 in the valve body in respect to the iixed spray head 16. v

The valve head34 is formed with the threaded nipple 35 and is screwed intothe internal thread ofthe bore 28 oi the valve body and the washer 36 encircles the nipple 35 and extends to the inner smooth portion 37 of the casing wall, thereby forming a packing in preventing the water reaching the threads of the casing and valve,

there being a clear-passage 38 iorthe water .through said valve head.

The washer 39 widely encircles the stem 18 l inside the valve head 34 and engages the aper tured disc 21 to close the apertures 22 at the extreme end of the inner movement vof the valve It will ncw be seen that in the operation of this hose nozzle, on attaching the reduced inner end of the casing 23 to the hose coupling member, the vwater iiows against the apertured disc 22 and when the valve body is screwed to its inmost position, noy water can escape, but on opening the valve, the water flows through the apertures 22 and through the central hole `in the washer 39 and onthrough the central passage in the valve head 34l around the stem '18.

This water ows outwardly to the aringrecess in the nozzle head and is there deflected by the inner surface of the spray arrow head 16.

In order to regulate the spray, the valve body is turned by means oi the knurled ilange 'until the head 16 is brought compietely within the bore 28 and when it is well within the bore, then this spray is` converted into a solid streamthrough the arrow head formation ofthe spray member.

The washer 40 securely holds the disc 21 inthe threaded joint end 25. Y v

What We claim is: l

1. A hose nozzle comprising a barrel casing containing a centralvstem having a spear head carrying at its lower end a closure for the bottom of the casing with ports therethrough, a flange disc valve mounted on a rubber compressible gasket and carrying on the outer side a compressible,v 'gasket guarded by said ange, a spray member having a flaring outlet in the head cooperating with said spear head in forming a spray, and having an annular unobstructedy outlet passage through the body joining said flaring mouth and forming a water passage beginning at the ports in said closure, means for turning said body in saidvalve casing and engaging said disc valve and a locking member securing said closure the bottom of said valve casing.. Y 4

2. Ahose nozzle comprising a valve casing having an internal thread for a'portion of its length and extending into a sleeve joint member threaded internally, a lclosure seated at the bottom of said casing andhavingoutlet ports therefrom, a disc valve having a compressible washer closing said ports and an outer Washer engaging the Wall of said casing, a screw plug member engaging said outer-Washer and externally threaded and having an unobstructed Water passageftherethrough, a pin having a spear head in the outer portionof said passage and rigidly secured tosad closure and a locking Washer introduced'in said sleeve -Vjoint and securing` said closure to saidlcasing.

thereof and having ports therethrough, a compressible Washer securing said closure to the valve casing, a disc valve mounted on a compressible `Washer closing saidvports and having an upwardly extending inner flange spaced from said stem and threaded externally and a compressible washer secured in said threaded flange and abutting said barrel.

' 4. In a hose nozzle, an inner threaded barrel turning in an outer threaded barrel and having a head with a knurled surface for turning purposes,l said inner barrel being stopped at one end and' having 'ports therethrough and leading to the interior of said inner barrel, compressible gaskets, one closing said ports and the other engaging the inner surface of the outer barrel, a

disc separatingrsaid gaskets and holding the outer'gasket to the outer barrel Wall, and a guiding f stem suitably'seczuredV and projecting through said inner barrel' andV causing an annular unobstructed stream to flow' from the vmouth of said linner barrel. l l MICHEL CHOUINARD.
